Here we go ~*~
Lieutenant Kellson booked down the halls of the Star Fleet Academy determined not to be late on her first day on the USS Excalibur. Her final meeting had ran long, along with getting her new uniform which was stowed in the bag on her back, she had wanted to change into the operations uniform before having to board the starship and start her new position, but right now it looked like a very slim chance. She turned the corner into a more crowded corridor, she started to dodge and weave.
“Excuse me! Pardon me!” she shouted and she ran, she was surprised it when she made through the corridor unscathed.
She was surprised as she ran that none of the security personnel was trying to stop her. She looked over her shoulder to check and immediately regretted the decision as she collided into someone knocking him on to one knee. She herself falling over him, but she tucked her head in pretty much somersaulting over him and landing on her feet. Before she could continue running she noticed the color of his uniform as he picked up the things he had dropped.
“I’m sorry sir.” She said helping him pick up the rest of the things he had dropped.
“It’s alright Cadet.” He said standing at his full height accepting the items from her.
“If you’ll excuse me sir I have to get to the transport hanger.” She said and continued running.
~*~
As she ran into the loading hanger she tried hard not to swear as the one transport she needed to be on left the hanger doors. She now had to wait for the next shuttle and who the hell knew when that would come.
“Don’t tell me,” a voice said coming up behind her, “Left already?”
Kylie knew the voice that was behind her, it was the man from before, she turned and looked at him, “Permission to speak freely sir?” she asked.
“Granted Cadet.” He said with a soft smile.
“If I hadn’t run into you I would’ve made that shuttle.” She said gesturing with a nod to the ship now getting much, much smaller in the sky, “It’s my first day on the USS Excalibur… Oh god it’s my first day the Captain is never going to trust me.”
He only smiled at her, “I’m sure he’ll understand since we’re both late.” He said gesturing to the nearby bench, “By the way I never did catch your name.”
“Lieutenant Kylie Kellson, Helmsmen of the USS Excalibur.” She said sitting down.
“Fresh out of the Academy?”
“Yes sir just got my uniform today it’s in my pack.” She said taking the bag off her shoulders, “God how am I going to make this up to the Captain and the crew the ship was supposed to leave the docking station in 30 minutes now it won’t be for 5 more hours.”
“I’ll think they’ll understand Lieutenant.” He said with a smile placing his hand on her shoulder.
“I’m sorry sir but how can you be so sure?”
“Allow me to introduce myself, Darik Ares Captain of the USS Excalibur.”

~*~ Alice J Kirk shook her head as she marched through the last of the inspections on the USS Excalibur. Everything on the ship had been fixed and was in tip top shape but where was her Captain? Off doing god only knows what. She was more then willing to do most of the work for him. There was still one last shuttle coming in to dock in ten minuets with the last of the new crew. Darik was a good man and a better Captain but she swore he left everything to the last minuet.
"Bridge to Commander Kirk?" Said the unsure voice over the intercom. Alice signed heavily.
"Kirk here." She said trying to sound as cheerful as possible as she rushed down the hall to the elevator. "Bridge."
"The shuttle has sent forward it's passenger list, sir." The male voice continued.
"Why do I get a feeling there is a 'but' coming on..." Alice signed. "I'll be to the bridge in a moment."
She stood in the elevator shaft silently trying to go through all the problems that might have come up. Had another crew member been added with out telling them? Had someone gotten sick on the way over? Had it exploded into a brilliant display of fire and steel? She liked that one, she thought as she strode on to the bridge.
"Commander Kirk, sir...." The male at the operations station. She tried to remember his name. Lieutenant Junior Grade....Manner?
"Yes?" She answered shifty. "What's the matter with the passenger list?"
"Well, two of the crew members are missing." He frowned.
"And they are? Come on now, you're on a star ship I can't keep dragging the information out of you. Spit it out."
"Well, Captain Ares is not aboard."
"Well, I guess I'll be getting myself a promotion then, Wont I?" Alice said in mock cheer. "And who else is missing Lieutenant Junior Grade?"
"...The helmsman, sir."
Alice tried to keep herself calm as she tried to remember her training. "WHAT?!"
"Sir..."
"Open a channel now!"
"But, sir-"
"Open a channel with that blasted shuttle right now or I swear-"
"Yes, Sir!" He turned around pushing a bunch of buttons as Alice marched over to the captain's chair and sat down clenching her hands. "Channel open."
"On screen." Alice said forcefully.
"Yes, Sir."
Alice watched as the helmsman of the shuttle Ensign Aught flashed on screen. Ensign Aught didn't look more then fifteen and looked half Klingon.
"Commander Kirk?"
"How long until you dock, Ensign?"
"About five minuets-"
"Good. Because you will go back and find the Captain and the helmsman. I don't care what it takes but you will find them, understood?" Alice said sounding a lot calmer then she felt.
"Yes, sir."
"Oh, and Ensign Aught? Message me before your arrival. I want to great them in person."
"Yes, Sir."
~*~
Alice is not a bitch, just stressed.

Captain Ares stifled a grin, looking over at the young Lieutenant. She was so nervous. "I hope she doesn't freeze up behind the console," he mumbled to his companion.
"She'll do fine." Lieutenant Commander Eric Gamble replied, smiling kindly at the young Lt. "I've looked over her file, she graduated with top marks in flight and navigation."
"Marks don't amount to much when you're under fire by a Jem'Hadar battleship. Why do they have us patrolling the outskirts of the Alpha Quadrant, Eric? We've got the Dominion pressing in on us from the Gamma Quadrant, we should be on the front lines."
"Star Fleet Command has its reasons." Eric glanced over at the Captain. "You look a little jumpy yourself."
Darik shook his head. "I suppose I'm a little apprehensive about this. I'm a pilot, Eric, not a command officer. I don't even know what I'm doing."
"And thinking like that will make you a liability. You're Captain Ares of the USS Excalibur now." Eric's tone was hard. "The crew looks up to you as a paragon of discipline and leadership. Don't let them down."
Ares snorted. "No pressure, huh?"
"Sir?" Ares turned to see Lt. Kellson standing at attention. He nodded expectantly. "We've just been booked on an express shuttle to the Excalibur. We're boarding now."
"Thank you, Lieutenant." Ares nodded.
-
"Wow." Kellson murmured.
"I concur." Darik leaned over her shoulder, gazing out the viewport at the USS Excalibur, a brand new Sovereign Class warship. "And you have the honor of flying her, Lieutenant."
"Flying her?" Kellson grinned mischieviously. "I'll make her dance."
The shuttle touched down in the bay at the back. As the port opened, Ares drew in a sharp breath. Two columns of Starfleet personnel, stretching all the way to the turbolift, stood at attention.
"Captain on deck!" Commander Kirk barked, falling into step beside Ares, Gamble, and Kellson.
"You didn't have to do this." Ares muttered, glaring daggers at his XO.
"I'm fully aware of that fact." Alice grinned. "You're late."
"We missed our shuttle after Commander Data's lecture on Borg technology." Gamble explained, eye twitching.
"We'll be on our way, Commander. Meet Lieutenant Kellson, our helmsman."

"And why may I ask Lieutenant Kellson are you late?" Kirk said turning on the woman standing next to the captain, someone she could belittle infront of the rest of the crew.
"I apologize mam..." she began but the captain held up him hand to interupt her.
"That would be my fault Kirk we had a slight mishap on the way here." he said and gestured for Gamble and Kellson to follow. Kylie taking in a breath happy to have made it out of that ok.
"Lt Kellson," Gamble said softly to her.
"Yes sir?"
"You may want to go and change before your first chance to fly." He said with a small smile, she nodded hoping she would get the chance to.
"Are we ready to take off now Captain?" Kirk asked having over heard them.
"In a moment Commander I'd like a chance to find my quaters and change first." Ares said with a smille at Kellson as they stepped into the turbolift with Gamble and Kellson.
"Yes sir," she said and turned as the doors closed, "Alright you heard the Captain places in 20min."
~*~
Kellson let out a small sigh as the turbolift shot to the correct floor hoping the gentleman next to her didnt hear it. She looked at the two out of the corner of her eye and saw them in conversation not aware of her from the looks of it. She would be happy to get off on her floor and let the two talk in peace. When the door pinged open she was happy to leave the lift. Only till she was half way to her room did she realize that someone was behind her. SHe turned around to see that it was the captain behind her walking in the same direction that she was.
"Can i help you Captain?" she asked careful to make her tone sound as even as possible.
"No Lieutenant I'm on my way to my quaters which coincidentaly is in the same direction that yours is." he said walking up next to her.
"Very good sir." she said happy a few moments later when she arrived infront of her door.
"Alright Lt Kellson I'll see you in 10 minutes on the bridge." he said with a smile stopping with her.
"Aye sir." she said accessing her door and entering her room.
When the door slid shut she leaned her back against it and took a deep breath.... This was going to be an interesting first job, her captain was attractive and possibly hitting on her.... Oh my what's a girl to do?
~*~
And yes she could be taking that the wrong way i shall leave it up to you two

"Break it down for me again, Lt. Benson?" Alice asked rubbing her forehead as she stood on the bridge leaning over her station.
"Well, I'm not sure, sir. There are some bits all mixed about down here." The soft southern female tone came through the com.
"It was just repaired by Star Fleet's best and you're telling me it's all messed up?"
"It aint right, sir."
"And Benson, what the hell's going on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?" Alice asked laughing softly. "Did they mess up all the wires?"
"I'm just sayin' they did a piss poor job, sir. I can get it all fixed up if I get another two minuets." Benson said pleadingly. "I'll give her the parts she was meant to have, sir."
"Do it quickly. kirk out." Alice turned to see Darik entering the bridge. "Captain."
"Status?" Darik asked walking over to Alice.
"Evil space monkeys in engine room." Alice deadpanned seriously.
"Any serious damage?"
"Lt. Benson assures me she can have it fixed a in no time." Alice smiles. "So Captain what are your orders?"
"Well, kill the space monkeys then get ready to set out for our detestation." Darik said smiling at Alice.
"So serious thoughts on the helmsman?" Alice asked in a lower tone.
"She seems to have her head on her shoulders." Darik replied.
"You think she's cute." Alice tried to suppress a grin.
"I order you to stop assuming things about my character commander kirk."
"Yes, sir." Alice saluted grinning turning back to her station.

Lt. Kellson straightened her uniform once more and headed into the bridge, she smiled seeing it she had been waiting for this all her life. She wasn't surprised to see that it it was one of the newest models, thank fully it wasnt bright white like she had seen on the latest version of the enterprise(i bridge). She could tell everyone was watching her, it made her a little nervous but she kept her cool and headed towards her station, glad for the new touch screen panels, the older models were a pain in the ass.
She sat in her chair and turned to face Capt Ares waiting for her first order.
"Lt Kellson," he said sitting back in his chair, "Take us out."
"Aye Captain." she said with a smile, she turned to her station, the screen jumping to life under her fingers. This is what Kylie had waited for all her life since she was a little girl.
To anyone watching it looked like she wasn't using the normal buttons but almost though she was playing music. Watching out the window they watched as the Excalibur pulled out its docking spot. Gamble and Kirk both gripped the railing a bit harder watching as the Lt began to turn the ship in a tight space as it was. Gamble moving carefully next to Ares.
"Captain, she's turnign to soon she's gonna hit the wall." he said softly in to Ares' ear, "Anyone in those bays will be killed."
"Just give her a minute Gamble." he replied softly, "I think she knows what she's doing."
90% of the crew that were watching on the deck held their breath as the ship missed the wall by maybe 30 feet. She pulled her out carefully and got her out into space. She turned and smiled at the crew behind her, a good half applauding her, she had done what maybe 15 others had before her.
"Permission to speak freely sir." she asked Ares who had only shifted in is seat, he nodded, "Told you I'd make her dance."

So i'm tempted to steal john's copy of star trek and watch the i-bridge to get ideas.... not sure ~*~ Kylie sat down at one of the tables nearest the windows in the mess hall, she still couldn't get over the view from space she had waited to get up here for years, she was still getting used to idea of being up here.
"How are you doing Luitenent?" Gamble asked taking a seat infront of her.
"Good sir just kinda in awe still you know?" she said honestly.
"I can agree with that, I still remember my first day on a ship with Area and Kirk it was.... Interesting to say the least."
"Good to know that I'm not the only one." she said with a smile.
"Trust me everyone is a little uneasy on their first day" he said then leaned foreward, "I'll tell you a secret about our dear captain if your promise not to tell anyone."
She nodded and leaned on, "Promise."
"His first time stepping onto our first ship he tripped coming off the turbo lift, he was that nervous." he said with a smile.
"You're kidding!" she said trying not to laugh.
"Yup, and then taking him to sick bay i tripped myself, Kirk was laughing at us the entire time." he said sitting back.
"What are you two laughing at?" Captian Ares asked approaching the table.
"Nothing Captain." Kylie said with only a smile continuing to eat.
Darik only gave her a look then sat down with them. Seeing the grin on Gamble's face he knew she was lying. He'd only have to wait it out to find out what it was. ~*~ all i had sry
